THE WAS BRILLIANT AS EXPECTED, BUT, I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE MORE THAN 48% OF THE DOWNLOAD !! IT THEN GAVE 3 CHAPTERS OF ANOTHER BOOK, WHICH I PRESUME I WAS EXPECTED TO PURCHASE IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HONEST TO MAKE IT TWO COMPLETE STORIES AND LET IT BE KNOWN BEFORE HAND THAT WAS WHAT WAS. COME ON AMAZON LETS HAVE A LITTLE MORE HONESTY.

I loved this short story. Full of emotion and sensitive insight, it was a poignant read. I hope Rosie continues to open her home and heart to children like Charlie.I only have one negative comment which seems to chime with other readers - why the need to include chapters from someone else's book? I wasn't quite halfway through reading this short story when it ended (at less than 50%!). It was disorientating and detracts from the reading experience.That aside, it was another great read from Rosie.

Another good book by rosie Lewis. Awful how kids are neglected and so badly treated by birth parents. Again as with the other foster kids she writes about so lucky to be helped by rosie. Look forward to reading the next book

This was a very sad story and even more so as it was a true story. It was good to be told the back ground of the little boy's family and I liked the way the book ended with the follow up to his life and a happy ending.
